Scholo'rs explore civil religion
by Rhonda Dye
"American churches are supportive and
effective elements of the common civil
order'" staled Martin E. Marty, professor
of Modern Church History at the Un­iversity
of Chicago, in an address Fri­day
evening at the seventh annual fall
meeting of The Conference on Faith and
History. It met on Bethel's campus Oct­ober
11-12.
Scholars from across the United States
gathered to discuss the topic Civil Rel­igion
and Christianity: An His,torical Per­spectiv'e.
Through a series of lectures
and discussions, the conference explored
the definition, function and validity of
civil religion and its relationship to Chris­tianity.
Speakers and commentators ad­dressed
themselves to the manner in
which civil religion was and is formed
and manifested in all times.
Among the various speakers was Beth­el's
own Dr. Olaf Olsen, chairman of
the history and political science depart­ment.
Dr. Olsen spoke on the issue of
"Civil Religion and Christianity in Scan­danavia."
Civil religion and the role it plays
in American society was explored by
Rockne McCarthy of Trinity Christian
College. McCarthy says that civil religion
is the product of the separation of church
and state theory upon which American
government rests; it is the embodiment
of Christian and humanistic forces. The
doctrine of popular sovereignty is the
philosophy of American civil religion.
It can be detected in national creeds,
holidays and heros. "The truly Christ­ian
way of life has nothing in common
with civil religion," said McCarthy.
In response to McCarthy's evaluation
of civil religion in American society,
Lee Nash of Northern Arizona State Un­iversity
said, "We must determine what
a Biblical system and Christian lifestyle
is. We must clear away traditional heresy
which has canonized American civil
religion. "
The Conference on Faith and History
was formed out of a desire on the part
of many historians who were committed
Christians for a closer cooperation and
communication with others of like mind.
It has been a formal organization since
November 1967 ..
Homecoming '74
Co'mputer do,tes,
doughnuts, buffe't
all tomorrow
by Dan Joling
This is homecoming weekend: next to
Jack Frost's handiwork, the highlight
of autumn.
Stained brown and gold from painting
flats for Saturday's concert, Dave John­son,
homecoming coordinator, comment­ed
on details of this evening's functions
and the rest of the weekend .
"We expect about 15 booths in our
carnival," Dave said. Tonight's carnival
will have booths providing a computer
dating service, homemade doughnuts and
singing telegrams.
The carnival will run from 8 p.m.
to midnight, and can be entered only
at the staircases by the post office and
the student affairs office. The admission
price of 25 cents (24 cents with an
S.A.C.) provides the carnival-goer with
a free homecoming booster button.
Featured during halftime at tomorrow's
football game will be a marching band
headed up by Charlie Cosgrove. The
homecoming court will be introduced,
and 50 plastic footballs will be thrown
into the crowd.
For those hungry after the game, Sat­urday's
"all you can eat" buffet dinner
in the cafeteria boasts a menu of ham,
barbecued chicken, and Swedish meat­balls,
all for $2.75. Carol Moser at
the piano will provide entertainment
for the dinner, to be followed at 8 p.m.
by the semi-formal concert by the Chil­dren
of the Day.
One change to be noted is the can­cellation
of the Sunday morning worship
service in the gymnasium. According to
Dave Johnson, the service was dropped
because of conflicts with local churches
which Bethel stUdents usually attend.
Letl s keep track of
Association funds
$31,500 is a lot of money, even in these days of in­flation.
That amount has been entrusted to the Bethel Student
Senate for its 1974-75 budgetary needs. The Clarion would
like to take the occasion of the senate elections being held
this week to remind us all of the responsibilities involved
in such a budget.
First, as students we need to vote intelligently in this
election for those people in whom we can place our con­fidence,
people who can be depended upon to administer such
funds capably.
Second, the Student Association, including those senators
who wHl be elected this week, has a great responsibility to
keep a close check on the funds entrusted to it.
If we as a Student Association hope to bargain effectively
·for increases in our budget allotment (a proposed $33,075
for '75-'76) we have to present a well-ordered, efficiently run
organiza tion.
We urge : you to · vote today if you have not done so.
The polls close at 6:00 p.m.
* * *
It is with regret that the Clarion views the resignation
(at the end of this year) of Campus Pastor Maurice Lawson.
Pastor Lawson has served the Body at Bethel College for
many years. His dep3.rture leaves a void that we hope will
be the object of much community prayer these next few
months. Again, we thank Pastor Lawson, and wish him and
his wif~ Muriel well as they leave Bethel in June.
* * * We commend Dr. Jim Johnson and the History Depart­ment
(as well as their hard-working student volunteers) for
their fine work in hosting last week's Conterenc'e on Faith
and History. The sharing of ideas on "Civil Religion" can
only be helpful for Christians, as together we seek to find
our rightful place in society and in the will of God.

Dear Editor:
The 1974 Spire will be later than usual this year. In
fact, we can look forward to it as a Christmas present.
I could make all kinds of excuses for it being late, but
there really are none. I'm afraid that I have to say that
the editor was just inadequate for the job. I felt that
this was probably the case from the beginning, but didn't
quite know what to do about it. I can't say that I did
my best and must admit that I didn't know what was
involved, or what I was getting into.
The yearbook is basically a book for seniors and truly
reaches its potential use after its owner has- left the school.
But it should be a record of the year for all of us.
I hope that this Spire will be just that. Many schools have
their yearbooks come out in the late spring but Bethel's
is not one of those. It comes the following school year.
This has some advantages. The price is lower for one
thing, and we are also able to include the entire school
year in the book. The last days in the school year are
very important for the seniors and indeed for aU of us.
Graduation activities of course are a highlight and are es­pecially
nice to be covered. There are also . some decided
disadvantages in not getting your yearbook before leaving
school. For one thing' you can't get autographs, which may
or may not be important. Another thing is that many won't
be coming back, seniors etc. This makes for a problem in
distribution. Not insurmountable however.
The big disadvantage, at least in this case, is that the
book is not finished before graduation time. And everyone
takes off, going h,ome, getting jobs, traveling, getting married,
and in general getting away from school. .Pictures and copy
can be lost with no chance of retakes. Anyway, in the end,
it falls in the lap of the editor. With forethought and plan­ning
this should be no major problem, but I'm afraid that
the editor of the '74 book has never been known for his
forethought.
I'm sorry, but it is coming. Please bear with me 'until
it does.

Fans shame' Bethel
Dear Editor:
In being part of the crowd at the Bethel-Westmar foot­ball
game last Saturday' I must honestly admit, I was
. ashamed to be called a ' Bethel student. A very ' apathetic
attitude was exhibited all day by the students, and I wondered
how does a group of guys who work their tails off all
week to play on Saturday afternoon feel about such weak
support?
Are we too inhibited to yell without cheerleaders, or do
we simply not care? Even when injured Royal Steven John­son
was carried off the field, very few fans seemed to pay
much attention. At least the team didn't quit as our spirited
mascot encouraged them on. With a little more support
maybe we could have won. It's too bad that we. never had
a chance to find out.
Sincerely,
Lanny Law
Crowd hel ps Royal loss
Dear Editor:
I would like to start this letter out by saing THANK YOU
to Coach Reynolds and the -men on the football team for
the fine job they did last Saturday against Westmar. The
final score by no means begins to reflect the hours of prac­tice,
determination' dedication, and desire that the team has
put in. You are to be complimented for your performance
thus far this season and good luck to you the rest of the
way.
As for the crowd that attended last Saturday'S game. I
don't know where to begin. Or maybe that's a' good place,
the beginning. Even before the teams were lined up for the
opening kick-off, people in the stands around me were taking
bets on how bad the Royals were going to lose. Some went
as far as to leave after five, minutes of play to go to the
chemistry lab to "waste time in a better way than this."
That's only the start. Do I have . to explain further the
mood of the crowd as the game progressed and the Royals
did run into trouble? Before I continue, I'd like to stop
here and tharik those who did cheer and strain to get the
moral of ,the team back up. But it wasn't enough to counter
those who were spiritless, cheerless, and apathetic. Bethel
doesn't deserve the team it has. We proved that Saturday.
When the team is ' up and on top, it's easy for the crowd
to be also. But when the Royals were down Saturday, the
crowd all1 but left the stands. Even when an injured player
(Steve Johnson) picked himself and the rest of his guts
up off the field to go to the hospital, the crowd could
only manage a light shower of applause. In a fit of frus­tration
or what might be called a final attempt, Fredda
Baker unveiled herself as the Royal mascot to lead in
cheering ' only to be met by "that's why the cheerleaders
quit" or' "sit down and put your mask back on."
I've been in sports since I was in the fifth grade. The
one thing that keeps a player going in hard times, besides
the desire to' do his personal best and to win, is knowing
that somebody really gives a damn whether !he team does
win or lose. Let's learn a lesson Bethel. Support the team
no matter what the score. They'll always need you.
Sincerely,
Gene Blair
[_ _Ii_ fe_t_ o_ g_et_h_er---.;~l
by Mark and Craig Johnson
Whenever one man lives in close proximity to another,
there is a natural human tendency for a particular problem
to exist. This conflict or seed 'of discord exists in every
community - self-assertion and pride. The Christian com­munity
is no exception to where this . seed can be found.
But if it exists unchecked or unnoticed by the brethren,
real fellowship will either be jeopardized or destroyed. In the
minds of the individual members of the community this seed
exists and either consciously or unconsciously is practiced.
What effect can this reasoning have on the fellowship 'of
believers and how can I combat it in my own life?
In the letter to the churches in Galatia, Paul attacks
this particular controversy. He told the believers not to allow
their lower natures to gratify their own reputations and am­bitions,
but to live in the freedom of the Holy Spirit. He
addresses himself to this divisive spirit of self-gratificaton.
They were usng their freedom to attack and tear each
other apart, i~stead of accepting qne another and building
each other up. The reverse of Chirst's law was being prac­ticed.
It is a natural desire in community to consciously or _
unconsciously rate one another. We look for someone to whom
we can assume a tiigher position over. We rate our gifts
and talents to their gifts and talents, our intelligence to
their intelligence, 0ur work to their work. We hold on to the
one area of greatness (or 'so it may seem) and defend it
wi.th an instinctual self-assertiveness. It is interesting to
observe that the twelve closest followers of our Lord had
this same difficulty. In the gospel of Luke we find: There
arose ,a reasoning among them, which of them was the
greatest. (Luke 9 :46).
In what way can we combat this natural tendency to
assert ourselves over another? First, if we can step back and
(especially in our own thought life) observe this problem,
when it occurs, half the battle will be won. Secondly, if
we can accept one another as we are, and not judge others
in our own light of comparison tpe seed of , discord will
slowly die of malnutrition. Because each one of us differs
in the grace God has given us, we are called to do different
'taSks and be different people. As a result, we work together
for the betterment of the whole.
Finally, I would like to compare an observation of Diet­rich
Bonhoeffer and Paul's solution of responsibility as it ef­fected
the Gala.tian church. Each of us are left with a respons­ibility
in regards to working separately and together for
our Lord. "Self-justifica.tion and judging others go together
as justification by grace and serving others go together"
(D. Bonhoeffer, Life Togetller, P. 91).
"Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of
Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is
nothing, he ' dece~ves himself. But let each one examine his
own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in
regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
For each one shall bear his own load." (NASB, Gal. 6 :2-5)

Twas the nite before Homecoming
And all through the dorm
Most guys were happy
Most girls were forlorn.
The guys had no dates
But seemed not to care
The girls were uptight
Claiming' "It's just not fair!"
These students were nestled
Deep down in their beds
While visions of Nik Dag
Danced through the girls' heads.
RA's in their pj's
And Dorm Councils too
Had just settled down .
Thinking all was subdue,
When out in the halls
There aroSe such a clatter
But the RA's rolled over
Just ignoring the matter.
The scene the next morning
Brought tears to their eyes
To see what the girls
Had done to the guys.
Twas , the morning of Homec0ming
And all through the school
The spirit was rising
For the afternoon duel.
The parents had traveled
To see a good game
To watch as the Royals
Earn glory and fame.
The nets were up
The ball was in play
The soccer team knew
They were ready today.
Cross-country at Como
For five gruesome miles
Another win here
Puts Glader in smiles.
At home on the campus
The bleachers were packed
The Royals were psyched
They knew they were backed.
The games are all over
The concert is through
The memories linger

'Art js~ for everybody"
at Fine Arts Park
by John M. Moore
The new Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts Park cele­brated
its reopening with an Inaugural Festival, Sunday Oct­ober
6. The Institute of Art has been closed for over two
years for remodeling. The Fine Arts Park is comprised of
the Art Museum, the Children's Theater Company and the
Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
Government funding of the Fine Arts has dwindled in past
years. Financial support by wealthy patrons has also de­creased
in this day of inflation and tight money. The Minn­eapolis
Institute of Art going on the premise that "Art
is for Everybody," has changed its appeal for support from
the wealthy few to the general public.
. The New Fine Arts Park will hopefully attract a greater
share of public support. Utilizing the old building with its
spacious hallways, large rooms and marble staircases, archi­tect
Kenzo Tange has added two immense wings with ever
larger spacial areas. Large windows and high ceilings enable
an abundance of light to flow into the display areas. The
use of natural light alleviates the dark mustiness commonly
associated with museums.
Each display area contains as few pieces 'as possible
~ to hold interes,t. New seamless plexi-glass display cases give
_'in the round' viewing of smaller objects. Door frames are
non-existent allowing an enticing view into adjoining ex-
Wbits. ,
An example of one of the exhibits is a collection of
modern children's weavings from Egypt. They swell with
people, animals and plants in varying colors. Not confined
by border lines the objects depicted seem to fly right off
the weavings.
, A recent acquisition to the Art Institute is the Gale
Bequest of Japanese Art. Woodcuts and pen-and-ink draw­ings
predominate. Themes such as maidenhood · and court­ship
are detailed elegantly through delicate lines and vi­brant
colors.
The Art Museum contains relics and, art pieces from all
periods, from ancient times and not so ancient; from Persian
bridal bits to Paul Revere silver; from ancient hierogly­phics
to photographic essays; from our past to our future ...

the Spire last spring. This $3 fee is
a fantastic bargain for a book worth
approximately $10.
Due to the senior portrait fee, seniors
are asked not to subscribe. Letters to
the seniors will be sent out in the near

Ruthy is spice in
the . food service
by Gloria Jackson
Why does someone stay at Dethel for
seventeen years?
"I like it here, it's just that simple,"
replies "Ruthy." Mrs. Ruth A. Tellander
has been a cook in the Bethel food
service for 17 years.
Once Ruthy ~sed to walk from her
house to the old Bethel campus in 28
seconds. It's not that easy to get to
work anymore. And yet, Ruthy and three
companion cooks still arrive at new cam­pus
at 5 a.m. every morning.
Ruthy has seen many student workers
in the food service. "This year's stu­dent
help h; terrific," she said.
Methods and equipment have also
changed at Bethel. Ruthy remembers
when there were no milk dispensers and
all the glasses of mnk were poured
by hand. Butter was not sman packed;
toast had to be made by the cooks.
Ruthy is particularly known for her
homemade soups. She said that top qual­ity
food has always been used for food
preparation at Bethel. '
Ruth Tellander
Senior Karl Shafer comments, "Her
friendship has been a highlight of my
four years at Bethel. When I think of
Ruthy I think of a very open person,
willing to listen to my problems and
to share a laugh. I'm really lucky to
have had' her friendship."
Carleton completely dominated the second half by keeping
the ball in our zone, but couldn't score because of the
Onyielding defense. Carleton came closest to scoring with
less than a minute left in the game. One of their players
angled a shot towards the corner of the goal, but Bierderman
was able to deflect it into the post and over the goal
to retain the ·shutout.

Bethel orchestra
opens to include
community
by Laura Alden
This fall, the Bethel Orchestra is chang­ing
its tune. The adoption of new poli­cies,
new faces, and new instruments
is giving the orchestra a unique status
in the Twin Cities. Northwestern College,
Bethel College and other members of
the Christian community are merging
into a singular orchestral group.
The Northwestern College Orchestra,
under Dr. John Benham, and the Bethel
College Orchestra, under Dr. JUlius Whit­tinger,
have combined to form the 60-
piece Chamber Orchestra. The Benham­Whittinger
directed orchestra is built a­round
a nucleus of 24 string players.
The student musicians requested that
auditions for string players be opened
up to include the Christian community
in the Twin Cities. Efforts are underway
to publicize this dIstinct opportunity for
fellowship and praise through a musical
meqium.
According to Dr. Whittinger, this coop­erative
venture enables the now larger
orchestra to enjoy and perform a "more
ambitious repertoire than ever before."
Those interested in auditioning are wel­come
to attend the rehearsals on Tues­day
evenings, 6 :30 to 8 :30, in the Bethel
band , room (F A311) .

Harriers take Gustavus,
Concordia at Como Meet
by Keith Kramer
The cross country team, coming from
a loss to Winona State last week, easily
defeated Gustavus Adolphus and Concor­dia
13.st Saturday at Como Park.
The score found Bethel with 23 points,
Gustavus was second with 32 and Con·
cordia finished third with 82. The Royals
were led by Jeff Larson, who finished
second with 26 :53. Following him were
Steve Whittaker in third with 27 :23, Curt
Brown with 27 :46, Dave Clapp with 28 :04,
Larry Caldwell with 28 :08, Gary Bloom
with 29 :41 and Ray Ross with 35 :33.
Roger Dragsten of Gustavus won with
a time of 26 :44.
The times for the meet were generally
slower, despite the almost ideal condi­tions.
The Royals had five runners cross
the line in 28 minutes, while Gustavus
had only two and Concordia was shut
out. The Royals dominated the race from
the start as was expected, although it
looked like Larry Caldwell might be
caught by two Gusties at the end of
the race.
Tomorrow, Stout and Eau Claire come
to Como Park to run in what could
be one of the best races of the year.
The race begins at 11 a.m.
Fund ,drive successful:
6 tennis courts to be built
by Gloria Jackson
"There is a good possibility that Bethel
will have six tennis courts on its campus
this fall," D.:.'. Eugene Glader, chairman
of the physical education department,
said recently. "If the weather holds out
and details are finalized," he added.
"Time is critical now."
A fund drive to raise $48,000 for eight
tennis courts was started last year by
a group of friends of the college interest­ed
in tennis. Enough money has been
received through the campaign and an
initial gift of $6,000 to build six courts.
The courts will be playable, but will
not have the laykold playing surface:
the most expensive part of the courts.
Laykold will be applied at later dates
as the funds are received.
"Bethel really needs the courts if we
are to continue our tennis program.
There are relatively few courts open
to us," Dr. Glader explained. The courts
would contribute to Bethel through phy­sical
education instruction, intramural
and recreational USe and intercollegiate
tennis teams. Also included are com­munity
activities including alumni and
friends of the college.
The six courts will be located close
to the football field on the south side
of the campus. The site of the remain­ing
two courts is uncertain, depending
on future campus developmenf.
The tennis team will be coached this
year by Leon Narvaez, part time faculty
member, with team co-captains Paul Re­asoner
and David Carpenter.

Halfback Matthew Floding passes off in recent
game against Carleton.
Royals cOintinue to, w'in,
slipl past Ma'c, Ca-rleton
by Bruce Olsen
The Bethel soccer team ran their winning streak to four
games by defeating Macalester and Carleton last week.
On Thursday the team faced Macalester College on their
home field. The game was described by Captain Steve J er­gens
on as being "really strange."
"We've never played a game like it before," said Steve.
"The referees really called a lot of fouls against us for
things we've never _ been called on before. It seemed as if
we couldn't do anything right. We did what was necessary
to win, but that's about iC'
The defense was strong' and the winning asset in the
game. Led by goalie Paul Biederman and fullback Al Vogel,
the defense fought hard to pull out a 2-1 victory over Mac­alester.
Th~ first half ended in a 1-1 tie, with Bethel's only
goal coming on a pass from Jergenson to freshman Dave
Osgood. The winning goal resulted from a corner kick by
Jergenson. The ball went through the goalie's hands and
Al Vogel headed it into th~ net for the winning goal.
A tight defense and -some timely passing gave Bethel
their second victory in three days, as they beat Carleton
College 2-0 last Saturday .on our field.
With 15 minutes gone in the first half, Pete Wilson
slipped around the left side of their defense and passed
in front of the goal to Dave Osgood for a 1-0 lead.
Ten minutes later Jergenson punched a loose ball into
the Carleton goal for the final score of the day. It was
Jergenson's sixth goal of the season. -

Bethel fa'ces Y.ankto,n
in homeco:ming highlight
by CUrtis Kregness
Bethel hosts Yankton College tomorrow at 1 :30 in what
should prove to be the Royals' toughest game yet this season.
In the words of Coach Charles Reynolds, "Yankton is the
most physical team in the conference; there's nothing fancy
in their attack - they just try to blow the opposing squad
off the field."
The Yankton College Greyhounds' 2-1 conference record
represents a 41-19 whitewashing of Westmar, and Saturday's
24-0 shutout over Sioux Falls. Only Northwestern· College has
beaten Yankton, by a slim 20-13 margin.
The Greyhounds have most of their defensive starters
from last year, including several all-conference - selections.
Yankton can boast of experienced seniors at quarterback,
center, offensive tackles, and wide receiver.
Amidst all this overwhelming power facing the Royals
in tomorrow's homecoming contest, there is a gleam of hope.
Reynolds said that Bethel has played well against Yankton
in the past, noting that the Royals beat the Greyhounds at
homecoming two years ago.
Last Saturday, Bethel ran into the stone wall of West­mar's
defense and stalled in its bid for a fifth consecu­tive
victory. The Royals rushed 45 total yards for the game.
Eagles' running back Ernie Johnson rushed 145 yards ~ in­cluding
a 93-yard touchdown run in the second quarter - al­most
half of Westmar's 293-yard net ground gain.
In the air, the Royals seemed to have a more concert­ed
attack. John, Holine passed for 124 total yards, to West­mar's
62, completing ten of his 26 attempts. Bethel's only
touchdown came on a 34-yard pass play to Kim Walker in
the second quarter.
Bright spots in the Royals' effort were provided by the
heads-up defensive play of seniors Terry Karlsgodt and Fred
Witzgall, and sophomore Kevin Hallstrom, who intercepted a
first-quarter Eagles' pass. The final score was 21-7. .
Steve Johnson, freshman defensive end, was injured in the
second half and taken to Midway Hospital. Reynolds reported
that he had sustained a cracked ' vertebrae, which would
disable him for the season.
Elsewhere in the Tri-State Conference Saturday, North­western
trampled Concordia 49-0, and Yankton blanked Sioux
Falls 24-0. Those results leave Northwestern undefeated in
three conference contests, with Bethel, Westmar, and Yank­ton
recording two wins and one loss. Concordia and Sioux
Falls have not won in three conference games.

Scholo'rs explore civil religion
by Rhonda Dye
"American churches are supportive and
effective elements of the common civil
order'" staled Martin E. Marty, professor
of Modern Church History at the Un­iversity
of Chicago, in an address Fri­day
evening at the seventh annual fall
meeting of The Conference on Faith and
History. It met on Bethel's campus Oct­ober
11-12.
Scholars from across the United States
gathered to discuss the topic Civil Rel­igion
and Christianity: An His,torical Per­spectiv'e.
Through a series of lectures
and discussions, the conference explored
the definition, function and validity of
civil religion and its relationship to Chris­tianity.
Speakers and commentators ad­dressed
themselves to the manner in
which civil religion was and is formed
and manifested in all times.
Among the various speakers was Beth­el's
own Dr. Olaf Olsen, chairman of
the history and political science depart­ment.
Dr. Olsen spoke on the issue of
"Civil Religion and Christianity in Scan­danavia."
Civil religion and the role it plays
in American society was explored by
Rockne McCarthy of Trinity Christian
College. McCarthy says that civil religion
is the product of the separation of church
and state theory upon which American
government rests; it is the embodiment
of Christian and humanistic forces. The
doctrine of popular sovereignty is the
philosophy of American civil religion.
It can be detected in national creeds,
holidays and heros. "The truly Christ­ian
way of life has nothing in common
with civil religion," said McCarthy.
In response to McCarthy's evaluation
of civil religion in American society,
Lee Nash of Northern Arizona State Un­iversity
said, "We must determine what
a Biblical system and Christian lifestyle
is. We must clear away traditional heresy
which has canonized American civil
religion. "
The Conference on Faith and History
was formed out of a desire on the part
of many historians who were committed
Christians for a closer cooperation and
communication with others of like mind.
It has been a formal organization since
November 1967 ..
Homecoming '74
Co'mputer do,tes,
doughnuts, buffe't
all tomorrow
by Dan Joling
This is homecoming weekend: next to
Jack Frost's handiwork, the highlight
of autumn.
Stained brown and gold from painting
flats for Saturday's concert, Dave John­son,
homecoming coordinator, comment­ed
on details of this evening's functions
and the rest of the weekend .
"We expect about 15 booths in our
carnival," Dave said. Tonight's carnival
will have booths providing a computer
dating service, homemade doughnuts and
singing telegrams.
The carnival will run from 8 p.m.
to midnight, and can be entered only
at the staircases by the post office and
the student affairs office. The admission
price of 25 cents (24 cents with an
S.A.C.) provides the carnival-goer with
a free homecoming booster button.
Featured during halftime at tomorrow's
football game will be a marching band
headed up by Charlie Cosgrove. The
homecoming court will be introduced,
and 50 plastic footballs will be thrown
into the crowd.
For those hungry after the game, Sat­urday's
"all you can eat" buffet dinner
in the cafeteria boasts a menu of ham,
barbecued chicken, and Swedish meat­balls,
all for $2.75. Carol Moser at
the piano will provide entertainment
for the dinner, to be followed at 8 p.m.
by the semi-formal concert by the Chil­dren
of the Day.
One change to be noted is the can­cellation
of the Sunday morning worship
service in the gymnasium. According to
Dave Johnson, the service was dropped
because of conflicts with local churches
which Bethel stUdents usually attend.
Letl s keep track of
Association funds
$31,500 is a lot of money, even in these days of in­flation.
That amount has been entrusted to the Bethel Student
Senate for its 1974-75 budgetary needs. The Clarion would
like to take the occasion of the senate elections being held
this week to remind us all of the responsibilities involved
in such a budget.
First, as students we need to vote intelligently in this
election for those people in whom we can place our con­fidence,
people who can be depended upon to administer such
funds capably.
Second, the Student Association, including those senators
who wHl be elected this week, has a great responsibility to
keep a close check on the funds entrusted to it.
If we as a Student Association hope to bargain effectively
·for increases in our budget allotment (a proposed $33,075
for '75-'76) we have to present a well-ordered, efficiently run
organiza tion.
We urge : you to · vote today if you have not done so.
The polls close at 6:00 p.m.
* * *
It is with regret that the Clarion views the resignation
(at the end of this year) of Campus Pastor Maurice Lawson.
Pastor Lawson has served the Body at Bethel College for
many years. His dep3.rture leaves a void that we hope will
be the object of much community prayer these next few
months. Again, we thank Pastor Lawson, and wish him and
his wif~ Muriel well as they leave Bethel in June.
* * * We commend Dr. Jim Johnson and the History Depart­ment
(as well as their hard-working student volunteers) for
their fine work in hosting last week's Conterenc'e on Faith
and History. The sharing of ideas on "Civil Religion" can
only be helpful for Christians, as together we seek to find
our rightful place in society and in the will of God.

lI _ _m _a_il_ba_g_~~1
Dear Editor:
The 1974 Spire will be later than usual this year. In
fact, we can look forward to it as a Christmas present.
I could make all kinds of excuses for it being late, but
there really are none. I'm afraid that I have to say that
the editor was just inadequate for the job. I felt that
this was probably the case from the beginning, but didn't
quite know what to do about it. I can't say that I did
my best and must admit that I didn't know what was
involved, or what I was getting into.
The yearbook is basically a book for seniors and truly
reaches its potential use after its owner has- left the school.
But it should be a record of the year for all of us.
I hope that this Spire will be just that. Many schools have
their yearbooks come out in the late spring but Bethel's
is not one of those. It comes the following school year.
This has some advantages. The price is lower for one
thing, and we are also able to include the entire school
year in the book. The last days in the school year are
very important for the seniors and indeed for aU of us.
Graduation activities of course are a highlight and are es­pecially
nice to be covered. There are also . some decided
disadvantages in not getting your yearbook before leaving
school. For one thing' you can't get autographs, which may
or may not be important. Another thing is that many won't
be coming back, seniors etc. This makes for a problem in
distribution. Not insurmountable however.
The big disadvantage, at least in this case, is that the
book is not finished before graduation time. And everyone
takes off, going h,ome, getting jobs, traveling, getting married,
and in general getting away from school. .Pictures and copy
can be lost with no chance of retakes. Anyway, in the end,
it falls in the lap of the editor. With forethought and plan­ning
this should be no major problem, but I'm afraid that
the editor of the '74 book has never been known for his
forethought.
I'm sorry, but it is coming. Please bear with me 'until
it does.

Fans shame' Bethel
Dear Editor:
In being part of the crowd at the Bethel-Westmar foot­ball
game last Saturday' I must honestly admit, I was
. ashamed to be called a ' Bethel student. A very ' apathetic
attitude was exhibited all day by the students, and I wondered
how does a group of guys who work their tails off all
week to play on Saturday afternoon feel about such weak
support?
Are we too inhibited to yell without cheerleaders, or do
we simply not care? Even when injured Royal Steven John­son
was carried off the field, very few fans seemed to pay
much attention. At least the team didn't quit as our spirited
mascot encouraged them on. With a little more support
maybe we could have won. It's too bad that we. never had
a chance to find out.
Sincerely,
Lanny Law
Crowd hel ps Royal loss
Dear Editor:
I would like to start this letter out by saing THANK YOU
to Coach Reynolds and the -men on the football team for
the fine job they did last Saturday against Westmar. The
final score by no means begins to reflect the hours of prac­tice,
determination' dedication, and desire that the team has
put in. You are to be complimented for your performance
thus far this season and good luck to you the rest of the
way.
As for the crowd that attended last Saturday'S game. I
don't know where to begin. Or maybe that's a' good place,
the beginning. Even before the teams were lined up for the
opening kick-off, people in the stands around me were taking
bets on how bad the Royals were going to lose. Some went
as far as to leave after five, minutes of play to go to the
chemistry lab to "waste time in a better way than this."
That's only the start. Do I have . to explain further the
mood of the crowd as the game progressed and the Royals
did run into trouble? Before I continue, I'd like to stop
here and tharik those who did cheer and strain to get the
moral of ,the team back up. But it wasn't enough to counter
those who were spiritless, cheerless, and apathetic. Bethel
doesn't deserve the team it has. We proved that Saturday.
When the team is ' up and on top, it's easy for the crowd
to be also. But when the Royals were down Saturday, the
crowd all1 but left the stands. Even when an injured player
(Steve Johnson) picked himself and the rest of his guts
up off the field to go to the hospital, the crowd could
only manage a light shower of applause. In a fit of frus­tration
or what might be called a final attempt, Fredda
Baker unveiled herself as the Royal mascot to lead in
cheering ' only to be met by "that's why the cheerleaders
quit" or' "sit down and put your mask back on."
I've been in sports since I was in the fifth grade. The
one thing that keeps a player going in hard times, besides
the desire to' do his personal best and to win, is knowing
that somebody really gives a damn whether !he team does
win or lose. Let's learn a lesson Bethel. Support the team
no matter what the score. They'll always need you.
Sincerely,
Gene Blair
[_ _Ii_ fe_t_ o_ g_et_h_er---.;~l
by Mark and Craig Johnson
Whenever one man lives in close proximity to another,
there is a natural human tendency for a particular problem
to exist. This conflict or seed 'of discord exists in every
community - self-assertion and pride. The Christian com­munity
is no exception to where this . seed can be found.
But if it exists unchecked or unnoticed by the brethren,
real fellowship will either be jeopardized or destroyed. In the
minds of the individual members of the community this seed
exists and either consciously or unconsciously is practiced.
What effect can this reasoning have on the fellowship 'of
believers and how can I combat it in my own life?
In the letter to the churches in Galatia, Paul attacks
this particular controversy. He told the believers not to allow
their lower natures to gratify their own reputations and am­bitions,
but to live in the freedom of the Holy Spirit. He
addresses himself to this divisive spirit of self-gratificaton.
They were usng their freedom to attack and tear each
other apart, i~stead of accepting qne another and building
each other up. The reverse of Chirst's law was being prac­ticed.
It is a natural desire in community to consciously or _
unconsciously rate one another. We look for someone to whom
we can assume a tiigher position over. We rate our gifts
and talents to their gifts and talents, our intelligence to
their intelligence, 0ur work to their work. We hold on to the
one area of greatness (or 'so it may seem) and defend it
wi.th an instinctual self-assertiveness. It is interesting to
observe that the twelve closest followers of our Lord had
this same difficulty. In the gospel of Luke we find: There
arose ,a reasoning among them, which of them was the
greatest. (Luke 9 :46).
In what way can we combat this natural tendency to
assert ourselves over another? First, if we can step back and
(especially in our own thought life) observe this problem,
when it occurs, half the battle will be won. Secondly, if
we can accept one another as we are, and not judge others
in our own light of comparison tpe seed of , discord will
slowly die of malnutrition. Because each one of us differs
in the grace God has given us, we are called to do different
'taSks and be different people. As a result, we work together
for the betterment of the whole.
Finally, I would like to compare an observation of Diet­rich
Bonhoeffer and Paul's solution of responsibility as it ef­fected
the Gala.tian church. Each of us are left with a respons­ibility
in regards to working separately and together for
our Lord. "Self-justifica.tion and judging others go together
as justification by grace and serving others go together"
(D. Bonhoeffer, Life Togetller, P. 91).
"Bear one another's burdens, and thus fulfill the law of
Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something when he is
nothing, he ' dece~ves himself. But let each one examine his
own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in
regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another.
For each one shall bear his own load." (NASB, Gal. 6 :2-5)

Twas the nite before Homecoming
And all through the dorm
Most guys were happy
Most girls were forlorn.
The guys had no dates
But seemed not to care
The girls were uptight
Claiming' "It's just not fair!"
These students were nestled
Deep down in their beds
While visions of Nik Dag
Danced through the girls' heads.
RA's in their pj's
And Dorm Councils too
Had just settled down .
Thinking all was subdue,
When out in the halls
There aroSe such a clatter
But the RA's rolled over
Just ignoring the matter.
The scene the next morning
Brought tears to their eyes
To see what the girls
Had done to the guys.
Twas , the morning of Homec0ming
And all through the school
The spirit was rising
For the afternoon duel.
The parents had traveled
To see a good game
To watch as the Royals
Earn glory and fame.
The nets were up
The ball was in play
The soccer team knew
They were ready today.
Cross-country at Como
For five gruesome miles
Another win here
Puts Glader in smiles.
At home on the campus
The bleachers were packed
The Royals were psyched
They knew they were backed.
The games are all over
The concert is through
The memories linger

'Art js~ for everybody"
at Fine Arts Park
by John M. Moore
The new Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts Park cele­brated
its reopening with an Inaugural Festival, Sunday Oct­ober
6. The Institute of Art has been closed for over two
years for remodeling. The Fine Arts Park is comprised of
the Art Museum, the Children's Theater Company and the
Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
Government funding of the Fine Arts has dwindled in past
years. Financial support by wealthy patrons has also de­creased
in this day of inflation and tight money. The Minn­eapolis
Institute of Art going on the premise that "Art
is for Everybody," has changed its appeal for support from
the wealthy few to the general public.
. The New Fine Arts Park will hopefully attract a greater
share of public support. Utilizing the old building with its
spacious hallways, large rooms and marble staircases, archi­tect
Kenzo Tange has added two immense wings with ever
larger spacial areas. Large windows and high ceilings enable
an abundance of light to flow into the display areas. The
use of natural light alleviates the dark mustiness commonly
associated with museums.
Each display area contains as few pieces 'as possible
~ to hold interes,t. New seamless plexi-glass display cases give
_'in the round' viewing of smaller objects. Door frames are
non-existent allowing an enticing view into adjoining ex-
Wbits. ,
An example of one of the exhibits is a collection of
modern children's weavings from Egypt. They swell with
people, animals and plants in varying colors. Not confined
by border lines the objects depicted seem to fly right off
the weavings.
, A recent acquisition to the Art Institute is the Gale
Bequest of Japanese Art. Woodcuts and pen-and-ink draw­ings
predominate. Themes such as maidenhood · and court­ship
are detailed elegantly through delicate lines and vi­brant
colors.
The Art Museum contains relics and, art pieces from all
periods, from ancient times and not so ancient; from Persian
bridal bits to Paul Revere silver; from ancient hierogly­phics
to photographic essays; from our past to our future ...

Mirror
James 1:22-24
Who was that person in the mirror
That I lust now saw passing by?
No words at all did I hear spoken.
Those child-like eyes just looked and cried.
Where have I seen that face ,before?­Seen
in my dreams or on a street?
The vagueness of the image haunts me.
That face -I'm sure I've met.
What thoughts have preyed upon her mind?
What patterns motivate her life? -

What deeds has s·he achieved for God?
What pcoblem causes her such strife?
The mirror, like the ear, deceives me.
I can't recall her image now.
I can't revive her fading spirit.
I really feel I should - but how?
Christ Jesus is the only answer.
In Him My image stays quite clear.
The patterns of my life are centered
Upon the Lord who is my mirror.

Now you know the Light of Life.
The words of God you a ll have heard,
But be not only passive hearers.
Be active doers of the word.

the past few weeks soliciting for the

the cut in budget assigned to
the Spire last spring. This $3 fee is
a fantastic bargain for a book worth
approximately $10.
Due to the senior portrait fee, seniors
are asked not to subscribe. Letters to
the seniors will be sent out in the near
fJture with information concerning their
subscription and portrait.
Please fill out and return the form

Ruthy is spice in
the . food service
by Gloria Jackson
Why does someone stay at Dethel for
seventeen years?
"I like it here, it's just that simple,"
replies "Ruthy." Mrs. Ruth A. Tellander
has been a cook in the Bethel food
service for 17 years.
Once Ruthy ~sed to walk from her
house to the old Bethel campus in 28
seconds. It's not that easy to get to
work anymore. And yet, Ruthy and three
companion cooks still arrive at new cam­pus
at 5 a.m. every morning.
Ruthy has seen many student workers
in the food service. "This year's stu­dent
help h; terrific," she said.
Methods and equipment have also
changed at Bethel. Ruthy remembers
when there were no milk dispensers and
all the glasses of mnk were poured
by hand. Butter was not sman packed;
toast had to be made by the cooks.
Ruthy is particularly known for her
homemade soups. She said that top qual­ity
food has always been used for food
preparation at Bethel. '
Ruth Tellander
Senior Karl Shafer comments, "Her
friendship has been a highlight of my
four years at Bethel. When I think of
Ruthy I think of a very open person,
willing to listen to my problems and
to share a laugh. I'm really lucky to
have had' her friendship."
Carleton completely dominated the second half by keeping
the ball in our zone, but couldn't score because of the
Onyielding defense. Carleton came closest to scoring with
less than a minute left in the game. One of their players
angled a shot towards the corner of the goal, but Bierderman
was able to deflect it into the post and over the goal
to retain the ·shutout.

Bethel orchestra
opens to include
community
by Laura Alden
This fall, the Bethel Orchestra is chang­ing
its tune. The adoption of new poli­cies,
new faces, and new instruments
is giving the orchestra a unique status
in the Twin Cities. Northwestern College,
Bethel College and other members of
the Christian community are merging
into a singular orchestral group.
The Northwestern College Orchestra,
under Dr. John Benham, and the Bethel
College Orchestra, under Dr. JUlius Whit­tinger,
have combined to form the 60-
piece Chamber Orchestra. The Benham­Whittinger
directed orchestra is built a­round
a nucleus of 24 string players.
The student musicians requested that
auditions for string players be opened
up to include the Christian community
in the Twin Cities. Efforts are underway
to publicize this dIstinct opportunity for
fellowship and praise through a musical
meqium.
According to Dr. Whittinger, this coop­erative
venture enables the now larger
orchestra to enjoy and perform a "more
ambitious repertoire than ever before."
Those interested in auditioning are wel­come
to attend the rehearsals on Tues­day
evenings, 6 :30 to 8 :30, in the Bethel
band , room (F A311) .

Harriers take Gustavus,
Concordia at Como Meet
by Keith Kramer
The cross country team, coming from
a loss to Winona State last week, easily
defeated Gustavus Adolphus and Concor­dia
13.st Saturday at Como Park.
The score found Bethel with 23 points,
Gustavus was second with 32 and Con·
cordia finished third with 82. The Royals
were led by Jeff Larson, who finished
second with 26 :53. Following him were
Steve Whittaker in third with 27 :23, Curt
Brown with 27 :46, Dave Clapp with 28 :04,
Larry Caldwell with 28 :08, Gary Bloom
with 29 :41 and Ray Ross with 35 :33.
Roger Dragsten of Gustavus won with
a time of 26 :44.
The times for the meet were generally
slower, despite the almost ideal condi­tions.
The Royals had five runners cross
the line in 28 minutes, while Gustavus
had only two and Concordia was shut
out. The Royals dominated the race from
the start as was expected, although it
looked like Larry Caldwell might be
caught by two Gusties at the end of
the race.
Tomorrow, Stout and Eau Claire come
to Como Park to run in what could
be one of the best races of the year.
The race begins at 11 a.m.
Fund ,drive successful:
6 tennis courts to be built
by Gloria Jackson
"There is a good possibility that Bethel
will have six tennis courts on its campus
this fall," D.:.'. Eugene Glader, chairman
of the physical education department,
said recently. "If the weather holds out
and details are finalized," he added.
"Time is critical now."
A fund drive to raise $48,000 for eight
tennis courts was started last year by
a group of friends of the college interest­ed
in tennis. Enough money has been
received through the campaign and an
initial gift of $6,000 to build six courts.
The courts will be playable, but will
not have the laykold playing surface:
the most expensive part of the courts.
Laykold will be applied at later dates
as the funds are received.
"Bethel really needs the courts if we
are to continue our tennis program.
There are relatively few courts open
to us," Dr. Glader explained. The courts
would contribute to Bethel through phy­sical
education instruction, intramural
and recreational USe and intercollegiate
tennis teams. Also included are com­munity
activities including alumni and
friends of the college.
The six courts will be located close
to the football field on the south side
of the campus. The site of the remain­ing
two courts is uncertain, depending
on future campus developmenf.
The tennis team will be coached this
year by Leon Narvaez, part time faculty
member, with team co-captains Paul Re­asoner
and David Carpenter.

Halfback Matthew Floding passes off in recent
game against Carleton.
Royals cOintinue to, w'in,
slipl past Ma'c, Ca-rleton
by Bruce Olsen
The Bethel soccer team ran their winning streak to four
games by defeating Macalester and Carleton last week.
On Thursday the team faced Macalester College on their
home field. The game was described by Captain Steve J er­gens
on as being "really strange."
"We've never played a game like it before," said Steve.
"The referees really called a lot of fouls against us for
things we've never _ been called on before. It seemed as if
we couldn't do anything right. We did what was necessary
to win, but that's about iC'
The defense was strong' and the winning asset in the
game. Led by goalie Paul Biederman and fullback Al Vogel,
the defense fought hard to pull out a 2-1 victory over Mac­alester.
Th~ first half ended in a 1-1 tie, with Bethel's only
goal coming on a pass from Jergenson to freshman Dave
Osgood. The winning goal resulted from a corner kick by
Jergenson. The ball went through the goalie's hands and
Al Vogel headed it into th~ net for the winning goal.
A tight defense and -some timely passing gave Bethel
their second victory in three days, as they beat Carleton
College 2-0 last Saturday .on our field.
With 15 minutes gone in the first half, Pete Wilson
slipped around the left side of their defense and passed
in front of the goal to Dave Osgood for a 1-0 lead.
Ten minutes later Jergenson punched a loose ball into
the Carleton goal for the final score of the day. It was
Jergenson's sixth goal of the season. -

Bethel fa'ces Y.ankto,n
in homeco:ming highlight
by CUrtis Kregness
Bethel hosts Yankton College tomorrow at 1 :30 in what
should prove to be the Royals' toughest game yet this season.
In the words of Coach Charles Reynolds, "Yankton is the
most physical team in the conference; there's nothing fancy
in their attack - they just try to blow the opposing squad
off the field."
The Yankton College Greyhounds' 2-1 conference record
represents a 41-19 whitewashing of Westmar, and Saturday's
24-0 shutout over Sioux Falls. Only Northwestern· College has
beaten Yankton, by a slim 20-13 margin.
The Greyhounds have most of their defensive starters
from last year, including several all-conference - selections.
Yankton can boast of experienced seniors at quarterback,
center, offensive tackles, and wide receiver.
Amidst all this overwhelming power facing the Royals
in tomorrow's homecoming contest, there is a gleam of hope.
Reynolds said that Bethel has played well against Yankton
in the past, noting that the Royals beat the Greyhounds at
homecoming two years ago.
Last Saturday, Bethel ran into the stone wall of West­mar's
defense and stalled in its bid for a fifth consecu­tive
victory. The Royals rushed 45 total yards for the game.
Eagles' running back Ernie Johnson rushed 145 yards ~ in­cluding
a 93-yard touchdown run in the second quarter - al­most
half of Westmar's 293-yard net ground gain.
In the air, the Royals seemed to have a more concert­ed
attack. John, Holine passed for 124 total yards, to West­mar's
62, completing ten of his 26 attempts. Bethel's only
touchdown came on a 34-yard pass play to Kim Walker in
the second quarter.
Bright spots in the Royals' effort were provided by the
heads-up defensive play of seniors Terry Karlsgodt and Fred
Witzgall, and sophomore Kevin Hallstrom, who intercepted a
first-quarter Eagles' pass. The final score was 21-7. .
Steve Johnson, freshman defensive end, was injured in the
second half and taken to Midway Hospital. Reynolds reported
that he had sustained a cracked ' vertebrae, which would
disable him for the season.
Elsewhere in the Tri-State Conference Saturday, North­western
trampled Concordia 49-0, and Yankton blanked Sioux
Falls 24-0. Those results leave Northwestern undefeated in
three conference contests, with Bethel, Westmar, and Yank­ton
recording two wins and one loss. Concordia and Sioux
Falls have not won in three conference games.
